Our customer, N. Wasserstrom, near Phoenix, is a leading manufacturer of high-quality standard and custom equipment for food service. To support one of its customer’s rapid expansion in Canada, Wasserstrom outfits an entire store to franchise specifications and ships it all in one 28-foot trailer. This “store-in-a-box” trailer remains on site, allowing the franchisee to remove contents as needed during the construction process. After the store is open, the franchisee may order additional supplies from our customer, which Wasserstrom ships LTL direct to the store.
